    From the article:

    “When official names vary between countries, Maps users see their official local name. Everyone in the rest of the world sees both names. That applies here too,” Google said.

    Nothing exceptional is happening on Google’s end. They are following their policy on names as they have before.

      It’s demonstrably not true because Maps would be a mess if they followed this policy. Unless „vary between countries” means „vary between countries as long as one of them countries is US”.

        What’s an example of a place with conflicting names in different countries that handled differently?
